You have got your new Xfinity Mobile. It is time to power it with the country’s most reliable network. When you wish to do so, you must activate it by accessing the authorized link at xfinitymobile.com/activate.
The online activation process is easy and straightforward. Let’s elaborate on the Xfinity Mobile activation process.
Activate New Xfinity Mobile at xfinitymobile.com/activate
To begin with, you need to unbox your new Xfinity device and get everything ready –
- new Xfinity Mobile
- charger
- SIM card
- other accessories.
Ensure that your new device is turned off. You need to keep it off to activate it at xfinitymobile.com/activate.
#1 Step: You need to insert the new SIM card into your new smartphone. (If you wish to continue with your old phone, simply eject the old SIM card and replace the same with the new one.
Just like Android smartphones that have SIM cards come pre-installed, Xfinity Mobile, too, makes the process quite simpler.
It never mixes up your SIM card with others – although you are activating phones for other members of your family. Each SIM will have its label and its corresponding device.)
#2 Step: Navigate to the authorized web portal – xfinitymobile.com/activate. Here, you need to log in using your Xfinity credentials. (If you don’t have an account with Xfinity, create one. You can select the phone you would like to activate.)
You will be prompted to render details like your PIN and account number from your previous carrier to transfer your current phone number.
Don’t find these details? Check your past bills or just call your previous carrier for help.
Choose “I want a new number” if you want one. Xfinity Mobile will get you one as soon as your new phone is activated.
#3 Step: Your device is ready, and you need to press the “Activate!” button. As soon as you click on the Activate button, within a few minutes, it should be ready.
You will be sent a confirmation email. If you requested a new number, the confirmation email would have it, too.
Your phone should be kept in switched-off mode. Now, you can turn it on and enjoy the best connection wherever you go.
Important Things Xfinity Would Need before Starting the Process
Before jumping onto the activation steps, Xfinity would want a few details from your previous carrier if you want a hassle-free transfer. The details are as follows –
- Copy of your bill
- Account PIN (if you don’t have it, contact your previous carrier immediately.)
- iPhone users can insert the SIM on their own. If activating multiple iPhones, pay utmost attention to your SIM cards as each SIM card is uniquely linked with specific phones. Xfinity will label each SIM for you.
- Keep your old as well as the new phones close by if transferring a number from a previous carrier.
Technical Issues…
At any point, if you run into some technical issues and couldn’t carry out the tasks easily, the technical support team available at xfinitymobile.com/support will resolve it instantaneously.
The support page answers almost all your issues and queries. You will come across support articles on “How do I activate my phone?”, “How do I return or exchange my device and accessories?”, “What should I do if I can’t log into my Xfinity Mobile Account?”, and more.
